I interviewed this really interesting character the other day named Sonny Carson; he's an activist. He was dressed formally but talked very casual. Then again he had to since we were in a fancy restaurant. He had on a grey jacket with a black turtleneck under it. He also had on a mud cloth hat. Even though he was dressed formally he didn't act very formal. He talked with food in his mouth, cursed, and curved over his food. If he had table etiquettes then he wouldn't have done this. He had a very confident and proud personality. He acted very sure of his words. Throughout the conversation, he's hunched over to a point where it looks awkward. I really did like the points he was making about connecting with the younger generation. Understanding the younger generation would probably help the the community, mainly because the biggest impact that was effected was the younger generation. The ones that were killed where the younger generation. Gavin was seven when he died and Yankel was a student who was killed by sixteen-year-old Lemrick. This creates a divide between the younger generations. When portraying Carson, I play on hunching over as I act through the scene. One thing that I noticed I could do is add emphasis on the ending words and raise in pitch with certain words to get my point across. I also plan on wearing something similar to what Carson was wearing. Hopefully I get the character right.
